Thank you for your question.
Active FX reduces fine lines, and wrinkles, improves sun damaged skin and texture, and stimulates collagen production. There are other technology such as Refirme, that helps with skin tightening and recommended about 3-6 treatments every 4 weeks. Generally the face is the best treatment for this. Velashape and Thermage can help with some skin tightening on the abdomen. I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest and best treatment options. I hope this helps.

I do not feel resurfacing lasers provide us with a consistent and reliable way to tighten the skin. Using these devices "off face" caries with it a significant increase in risk associated with the procedure.
